| I am facing issues with a builder regarding construction quality and delays in my Mumbai property. What is the procedure to file a complaint before the RERA authority? |
To file a RERA complaint against a builder in Mumbai, the process is designed to be accessible, and understanding the correct steps ensures your grievance is heard efficiently. Complaints are filed with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) through its online portal, covering issues such as possession delays, deviation from approved plans, non-refund of booking amounts, or false advertising by the builder.
Begin by registering on the MahaRERA website and filling out the complaint form with details of the project, your agreement, and the specific grievance, along with supporting documents like the builder-buyer agreement, payment receipts, and correspondence. A nominal filing fee is required, after which the matter is listed for hearing before the Authority.
MahaRERA has the power to direct builders to pay interest for delays, provide refunds, or complete pending construction and amenities as promised. If unsatisfied with the outcome, you can appeal to the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within the prescribed limitation period.
